If you know how to cook, you can probably use any recipe or any recipe book and everything will turn out because you have experience and know what it mean.

When a video on playing the piano is made, the pianst has probably been playing for quite awhile and most of the people watching understand what is going on, but if you are a beginner, it can be difficult to know what is going on until you have more experience and then you know what is going on.

(An ascending melody stops on b7, descending afterwards)

Your demonstration of the scale sounds very poor and does not animate anybody to enter the great world of blues. I´m sorry!

And by the way, this isn´t "the blues scale" what you are citing. Where is the major 3, the 9th and 13th?
